The Seven Hermetic Laws Part III

The Seven Hermetic Laws
Part 3

The Hermetic
Philosophy did not originate in Greece. It is now a known fact that Tehuti an
ancient Egyptian sage who the Greeks called Hermes wrote what is considered by
many the worlds’ oldest doctrines. The burning of the Great Egyptian Library of
Alexandria wasafter Greek scholars
studied much of the information housed in it. Wayne B. Chandler states in his
book “Ancient Future: The Teachings and
Prophetic of the Seven Hermetic Laws of Ancient Egypt” that a few of
Tehuti’s volumes of work were saved and buried in a secret place in the desert
by initiates of Egyptian secret societies.

The Seven
Hermetic Laws are believed to be the foundation of Tehuti’s work. The third
Hermetic Principle Vibration states that
all things are in motion. Modern science has proven this ancient theory but the
ancient Hermetic also considered the different frequencies of vibration the
higher the frequency the more advanced the life form. Tehuti’s writings
considered all aspects of thought; such as emotion, will and desire to be forms
of vibration. I often write about the power of thought manifestation a concept
that is no longer a secret.

The forth
Hermetic Principle Polarity states
that everything has its pair of opposites, everything is dual; opposites are
identical in nature, but different in degree. This ancient Egyptian concept was
the foundation of the Taoist yin/yang philosophy which is the foundation of the
I- Ching the famous Book of Change.

The
principle of polarity can also be found in the writings of the ancient Ife
societies of West Africa. The yin/yang or positive/negative principle of
polarity found in the sixty-four binary triplet hexagrams of the I-Ching
correspond directly with sixty-four binary triplet figures called DNA codons
discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953. This discovery is
considered the pathway to understand the key to life.

I have a few
articles about the I Ching and how this ancient book has influenced and will
continue to influence human evolution; on my blog at www.theartofwarogers.com. The
fact that this book can now be traced to the writings of an ancient
Egyptian(The Hermetic Principle of Polarity) thousands of years ago; is
fascinating.

The
Principle of Gender is the fifth Hermitic
axiom which embodies the concept that all things are masculine and feminine.
The Taoist yin/yang symbol is an example of this concept each part contains an
aspect of the other. We often view gender as being a way to determine sex but
the ancient Hermitic view of gender was as one thing with different degrees or
poles. A thermometer is good example of this concept, at one end it measures
the cold, the other end measures heat, temperature is one thing that only
differs in degrees. There is a feminine part in every male and a masculine part
in every female.

In the last
part of this dialog I will write about the sixth Hermitic principle of Rhythem and the seventh principle of Causation and why it is so important
that the masses become aware of the Seven Hermitic Principles and how to use
them as a guide to elevate to a higher frequency of consciousness in this new
age of awareness.
